Suppose that your boss must choose three employees in your office to attend a conference in Jamaica. Because all 17 of you want

to go, he decides that the only fair way is to draw names out of a hat. What is the probability that you, Anna, and Kevin are chosen? Enter a fraction or round your answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary.

Answer:

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = \frac{1}{4913}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total\ Employees = 17

To\ Select = 3

Required

Determine the probability of selecting You, Anna and Kevin

Assuming the selection process is fair;

Each employee has a probability of;

Probability = \frac{1}{17}

So:

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = P(You) * P(Anna) * P(Kevin)

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = \frac{1}{17} * \frac{1}{17} * \frac{1}{17}

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = \frac{1}{4913}

he data set gives the number of hours it took each of the 10 students in a cooking class to master a particular technique. {5, 3
sergeinik [125]

The best measure of center tendency for this set of data would be the median. It is the best measurement because the data set has an outlier. The outlier is the 30. So to find the median we first order the data set and then find out if the set is an even or odd set. This set is even so we just chose the middle number. If the set was even, we would add the two center number and divide them by 2.

3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 30

The center tendency = 4

Find all x in set of real numbers R Superscript 4 that are mapped into the zero vector by the transformation Bold x maps to Uppe
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

 x_3 = \left[\begin{array}{c}4&3&1\\0\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given situation, The computation of all x in a set of a real number is shown below:

First we have to determine the \bar x so that A \bar x = 0

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-3&5&-5\\0&1&-3&5\\2&-4&4&-4\end{array}\right]

Now the augmented matrix is

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-3&5&-5\ |\ 0\\0&1&-3&5\ |\ 0\\2&-4&4&-4\ |\ 0\end{array}\right]

After this, we decrease this to reduce the formation of the row echelon

R_3 = R_3 -2R_1 \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-3&5&-5\ |\ 0\\0&1&-3&5\ |\ 0\\0&2&-6&6\ |\ 0\end{array}\right]

R_3 = R_3 -2R_2 \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-3&5&-5\ |\ 0\\0&1&-3&5\ |\ 0\\0&0&0&-4\ |\ 0\end{array}\right]

R_2 = 4R_2 +5R_3 \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-3&5&-5\ |\ 0\\0&4&-12&0\ |\ 0\\0&0&0&-4\ |\ 0\end{array}\right]

R_2 = \frac{R_2}{4},  R_3 = \frac{R_3}{-4}  \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-3&5&-5\ |\ 0\\0&1&-3&0\ |\ 0\\0&0&0&1\ |\ 0\end{array}\right]

R_1 = R_1 +3 R_2 \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-4&-5\ |\ 0\\0&1&-3&0\ |\ 0\\0&0&0&-1\ |\ 0\end{array}\right]

R_1 = R_1 +5 R_3 \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-4&0\ |\ 0\\0&1&-3&0\ |\ 0\\0&0&0&-1\ |\ 0\end{array}\right]

= x_1 - 4x_3 = 0\\\\x_1 = 4x_3\\\\x_2 - 3x_3 = 0\\\\ x_2 = 3x_3\\\\x_4 = 0

x = \left[\begin{array}{c}4x_3&3x_3&x_3\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\ x_3 = \left[\begin{array}{c}4&3&1\\0\end{array}\right]

By applying the above matrix, we can easily reach an answer
